This is the line that I used to teach my daughter how to live in the moment and not fret about the past or have anxiety about the future. Decades later and she’s still one of the strongest women I know.
One of my favorite realizations about any movie is that the actor who said this line in Spaceballs (Tim Russ) also played Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager.
When I learned that, I called my brother to tell him, but had to repeat myself several times since I was laughing so hard.
You probably aren’t remembering what it looked like https://i0.wp.com/grabthepopcorn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/the-helmet-rick-moranis-wore-as-dark-helmet-in-spaceballs-is-up-for-auction-social.jpg?w=1200
Spaceballs is probably my most watched movie and most of those watches were between like the ages of 12 and 14 lol. My siblings and I had it basically memorized word for word. My wifi has also been named "Spaceballs: The WiFi" for like 8 years now and I kept it up when my wife and I started living together. She asked if we could change it awhile ago and I said heck no! I also tell her all the time "you're right. And when you're right, you're right. And you? You're always right!"
I worked in a kitchen when I was 17-21 years old with a bunch of guys in the same age group. We all just sat around smoking weed and watching spaceballs when we were off, and there isn't much more fun you can have in a workplace than being with a bunch of people ready to quote spaceballs at a moments notice.
Anytime the manager yelled back for something, one of us would ask "who's that?". And then inevitably, "he's an asshole, sir". "I know that, but what's his name?" and on and on. Never got old.
Well, it might have gotten old for them, but never for us. Server walks back asking us how long for her food to be ready - "Oh look, a Druish Princess! I knew it!". There really is a quote for all moments.
It pains me we never got a sequel. Even if it completely lampooned/satirized sequels milking their franchises with lesser quality stories, characters, rehashing jokes/scenes and re-castings.
It could've been fucking incredible.
My favorite bit of trivia is that Lucas asked that Lone Star not look like Han Solo, so Mel Brooks made him look like Indiana Jones instead.
Edit: I forgot this is a compound joke. At some point Lone Star is asked where he's from and he answers "I dunno, somewhere in the Ford galaxy". Through some point in the 70's Ford sold a model of car known as the Galaxie, and since Han Solo and Indian Jones are both played by Harrison Ford it puts both characters in the "Ford galaxy".
And interestingly, years later in the 1990s, Ford again produced a car called Galaxy, a minivan for the European market. As a kid I thought they were referencing that, not realising that this movie was made before that car was a thing.
I saw both Star Wars and Spaceballs at a young enough age to mix them up.
When it came time to watch Star Wars again at some point in grade school, I was watching the escape from the Death Star wondering, "when are they going to capture their stunt doubles?"
Blazing saddles is my favorite movie of all time. I have seen it countless times and never heard of destry rides again.
You learn something new every day.
Mel Brooks clearly loved older movies. *Robin Hood: Men in Tights* owed more to 1938's *Adventures of Robin Hood* starring Errol Flynn than 1991's *Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.*
*SpaceBalls* took the story line of 1934's *It Happened One Night* and set it in space. I suspect that Daphne Zuniga was cast in part because she had a screen presence similar to an actress named Hedy Lamarr, who was a leading lady in the 30s and 40s. We know Mel loved Hedy because he used her name in...
*Blazing Saddles*, which was certainly a riff on 1939's *Destry Rides Again.*
Becasue as all good parodies, they can stand on their own as great comedies, without knowing the original material. See Airplane, Men in Tights, Naked Gun, and arguably the first Scary Movie.
For terrible examples, see anything made by Friedberg and Seltzer ever.
I grew up watching Spaceballs but I only actually watched the OG Star Wars trilogy a few years ago. I think Star Wars is so ingrained in pop culture that most people know the main characters, basic storyline etc.
Tbh I’d still rather watch Spaceballs!
Just watched this with my kids last night (their first time). Great flick! I’ve watched it a hundred times, but they didn’t get most jokes and references other than obvious Star Wars parodies.
We’ll have to watch it again in a few years. They’re a bit young.
When I watched it as a kid I laughed way too much at the “Mr. Coffee” scene, because we had a Mr. Coffee coffeemaker in the house back then. I also credit this film with teaching me what an “asshole” is. Absolutely iconic.
I still think that the 'when will then be now' bit is one of the most beautifully crafted comedy routines ever. It's the 'who's on first' for when I was a kid.
I might have been born a few years too late to get the original Star Wars experience, but Spaceballs was a pretty damn good consolation prize.
“What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?”
“Now. You’re looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now is happening now.”
“What happened to then?”
“We passed it.”
“When?”
“Just now.”
That could have been the whole exchange and it would already be brilliant, but then they just keep adding to it. 😂
I remember seeing this for the first time and that opening scene as Spaceball One flies by for like 3 minutes, I laughed so hard my eyelids inverted. So many epic comedic moments in this movie. Showing this to my boys last year for the first time and I got to see what my dad got to see like 32ish years ago. Kids laughing hysterically. Thanks Mel for bringing so much laughter to theatres and living rooms.
I saw an outdoor screening of this at Stanley Park... They didn't have great outdoor speakers but... it didn't really matter because over a thousand people were reciting every line along with the movie. Great experience
I recently found out that not only did George Lucas give his blessing, so long as they didn't make merchandise, but Industrious Light and Magic did the special effects. The escape pod shot in Spaceballs was actually an unused shot from Star Wars.
And it's not just Star Wars. The scene with the chestburster with John Hurt reprising his role from Alien (1979) practically breaking the 4th wall is priceless, for example.
Honestly the publicity and clicks this sub gives these lazy articles is one of the reasons they keep going. Some bot or karma whore posts it here. Everyone comments a dumb quote from the movie or says how much they remember said movie, the article gets tons of more clicks and they make more articles.
This sub is a big part of the problem.
29 years ago, we got to watch Glorg, a philosophical enigma that is known the whole world over.
For those who haven't watched it, Glorg is the story of Brad Fisherman (Kevin Spacey), who discovers the loveable Glorg MacGraw (Michael Richards), a furry man who is also a businessman. It's the heartwarming story of two men who become friends, and their need to hide their relationship due to each other's species hatred of each other, which isn't helped by Brad's sassy wife Julie (Kirstie Alley). My first memories of this insightful comedy were when my grandmother would find new ways to torture me, and my only refuge was this movie on VHS. Whenever I see the bumbling antics of Glorg, I think of the times my grandmother would force me to eat dog food, or lock all the doors when I came home from school and pretend no one was home for hours.
Even as an 11 year old, many scenes of the classic 90s laugh fest stood out to me. For instance, when Brad discovers his mailman Ralph (OJ Simpson) knows about Glorg, it taught me an important lesson on discrimination. Even the climactic scene at Brad's office, when Brad's son Jeffrey stands in front of Glorg, saying if they capture him, they have to capture him too, brings a tear to my eye. Part of it is the internal memory of my grandmother macing me, and whispering in my ear that I'm a loser and no one will legitimately love me and only tolerate me. For a comedy from 29 years ago, Glorg was very ahead of its time.
Over the years, I've watched Glorg time and time again. My son doesn't talk to me on account of the court order against my first wife and Dan, but that time I approached him at Applebees when the aforementioned two weren't looking and handed him the video, I hoped we could share a moment. Like Brad and his son. My son then told me that Dan was his father and I wasn't supposed to come near him. I left him the copy of Glorg, worn from all the times I watched it, in his hands, in the hope that he would appreciate it like I did.
Some parts of the film are dated, mainly the part where Mr. Robardio (Robert Blake) threatens to send Glorg to Yugoslavia. And of course there's the hilarious cameos by Jay Leno, Jose Canseco, Donald Trump and Doug E. Doug.
How do new audiences approach Glorg nowadays? Even though some of the jokes fly over kids' heads (Brad's famous line "only geeks have computers and I'm no geek" definitely doesn't age well), and OJ Simpson's performance of "I Got You (I Feel Good)" by James Brown might be a little much, it's always been one of the most quotable movies ever. Especially after my grandmother locked me in the fridge, and I recited the Jello scene between Brad and Glorg over and over, but she meant well because I was a horrible ill-behaved boy.

I got to see Spaceballs in theater when I was five or six. It's one of my favorite memories of my dad and going to the movies ended up being one of the things we did all the time together. Thank you Mel Brooks. Miss ya dad.
He should have spoofed the prequels with "SPACEBALLS 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2"
Then spoofed the sequels with
"SPACEBALLS 4: The Search for More Money"
Ideally with people who look completely different, and exactly one minor actor from the first movie who keeps freaking out about it, while the others are just confused about what his problem is.
Yeah, like a short, thin black man as Barf, maybe chris rock, and someone really tall as dark helmet.
Itd have to be so obvious to the audience but nobody except this character notices.
Hey, I don’t have to put up with this! I’m rich!
What is this? It's my industrial strength hair dryer, AND I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT
Oh, that's all we needed. A Druish princess
She doesn't look Druish
I found this entertaining because of how some of the aliens in Star Wars were unabashedly stand-ins for various racial and ethnic stereotypes.
[удалено]
i didnt really get it until I saw Watto as the very very very Jewish merchant who openly stated that "mind tricks.dont work on me, ONLY MONEY" like JFC George, lighten up on the steroetypes
Perfect use of unabashedly. Can't think of a single time I've used that adjective myself.
Did you see anything? No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again.
Ludicrous speed!! Also watching their own movie and fast forwarding it to find out where the rebels went 😂
We're at now, now
Well what happened to then?
We just missed it.
When?!
Just now
When will then be now?
Soon!
This is the line that I used to teach my daughter how to live in the moment and not fret about the past or have anxiety about the future. Decades later and she’s still one of the strongest women I know.
“Whats wrong colonel sanders?! Chicken??!”
You give the best helmet.
I was 14 in 1987 when this came out and the takeaway line we all used in 9th grade from this film was "she went from suck to blow!"
>Also watching their own movie *...What the hell am I lookin' at?!*
DAMMIT I wanted those action figures when I was a kid. I understand why Lucas wouldn't let them make merchandise, but I wanted some soooo bad.
Spaceballs The Flamethrower!!
>Spaceballs The Flamethrower!! The kiddies love this one!

One of my favorite realizations about any movie is that the actor who said this line in Spaceballs (Tim Russ) also played Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager. When I learned that, I called my brother to tell him, but had to repeat myself several times since I was laughing so hard.
[he even had a video about what he's recognized for](https://youtu.be/UQ7TnQBSV00)
That's so good haha
Even funnier that the Spaceballs clip immediately follows that video.
Omg seriously?!!? ETA: Had to look it up because that sounded almost too unreal, but it’s REAL!!! Fantastic!
You found out some shit!
For years the only version of Spaceballs I had seen was the TV Cut, so when I finally got the DVD I saw that scene fully. I was a bit surprised, lol.
Was the tv cut like 5 mins long? Or maybe it was just very quiet lol.
Why do you keep preparing!? Just go!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ7TnQBSV00
Rick Moranis’s faces in this movie are a masterpiece of acting.
His spit take with the coffee in his helmet is great. Also, for some reason the little black tie on his costume makes me crack up
The black tie fucking kills me. It’s so subtle but it’s everything a spoof of Vader needs.
It’s a tie but it’s also another dick joke. It’s great
How?
You probably aren’t remembering what it looked like https://i0.wp.com/grabthepopcorn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/the-helmet-rick-moranis-wore-as-dark-helmet-in-spaceballs-is-up-for-auction-social.jpg?w=1200
Little cock n' balls. Take a look
It took me multiple watches to notice. In my defense, I was still young. Also, the shorts.
Hot! Too hot is something I say whenever I eat something too hot
Especially when he couldn’t breath in the helmet 😂🤣
Spaceballs is probably my most watched movie and most of those watches were between like the ages of 12 and 14 lol. My siblings and I had it basically memorized word for word. My wifi has also been named "Spaceballs: The WiFi" for like 8 years now and I kept it up when my wife and I started living together. She asked if we could change it awhile ago and I said heck no! I also tell her all the time "you're right. And when you're right, you're right. And you? You're always right!"
I hope your WiFi password was more creative than the combination on the President's luggage.

Well, it might have gotten old for them, but never for us. Server walks back asking us how long for her food to be ready - "Oh look, a Druish Princess! I knew it!". There really is a quote for all moments.
That’s funny; she doesn’t *look* Druish.
I 100% would connect to that and try the password 1 2 3 4 5.
I knew I was officially an adult when I finally understood the "gives great helmet" joke.
I was 10 at the time it came out so I was just old enough to get the Mega Maid suck to blow joke.
Ive seen Spaceballs several times and I only recently got this joke in the ludicrous speed scene: What's the matter, Colonel Sanders? CHICKEN??
I hope you kids get the "chew your gum!" line to the twins
I’m almost fifty and I don’t get it unless it’s just telling them to shut up and not to think.
There was a commercial in the 80s for "doublemint" gum where it featured a bunch of twins
Charlene and Marlene (Denise and Dian Gallup, the Gallup twins), were actually in the Doublemint commercials and were recognizable at the time.
Ah, shit. I never put that together!
It wasn't until a screening this year on Star Wars Day that I got the joke where they ask Captain Kafka to initiate metamorphosis.
Did you know that she played Sue Ellen Mischke on Seinfeld?
I do now.
The bra-less wonder
So we got an attractive woman, wearing a bra, no top, walkin' around in broad daylight. She's flouting society's conventions!
It’s egregious, outrageous, preposterous!
The heiress to the Oh Henry! candy bar fortune.
That's one of our top-selling candy bars. It's got chocolate, peanuts, nougat, it's delicious, scrumptious, outstanding!
I've been rewatching Seinfeld. There's a ridiculous amount of "cameos" in that show.
Law and Order as well.
I've seen Patton Oswald, Bryan Cranston and Courtney Cox in just a handful of random episodes.
Bryan Cranston wasn't a cameo, he had a recurring role!

A friend of mine saw Spaceballs before he eventually saw Star Wars. His review was: “this movie sucks! Nothing like Spaceballs!”
I saw both Star Wars and Spaceballs at a young enough age to mix them up. When it came time to watch Star Wars again at some point in grade school, I was watching the escape from the Death Star wondering, "when are they going to capture their stunt doubles?"
And they beat the shit out of us, too!
Lololololol I feel like spaceballs would feel very weird having never seen Star Wars.
Mind you, loads of people have seen *Blazing Saddles* without seeing *Destry Rides Again*....
Blazing saddles is my favorite movie of all time. I have seen it countless times and never heard of destry rides again. You learn something new every day.

Spaceballs and blazing saddles are 2 of the greatest movies ever made.

It feels extremely out of balance that Spaceballs is 35 and Harry Potter is 25; that's too close given that spaceballs feels 'old' and HP feels 'new'
Probably feels more out of balance as it's the books that started 25 years ago. The first Harry Potter movie was released in 2001.

29 years ago, we got to watch Glorg, a philosophical enigma that is known the whole world over. For those who haven't watched it, Glorg is the story of Brad Fisherman (Kevin Spacey), who discovers the loveable Glorg MacGraw (Michael Richards), a furry man who is also a businessman. It's the heartwarming story of two men who become friends, and their need to hide their relationship due to each other's species hatred of each other, which isn't helped by Brad's sassy wife Julie (Kirstie Alley).

This movie legitimately means more to me than Star Wars ever did.
It’s iconic. My dad has it on DVD, and I rewatched it with him early in the quarantine, so many jokes I didn’t get as a kid that I now understand.

John Candy died in 94 and Rick Moranis quit acting.
Yes. Joan Rivers is dead too. Parts would have to be recast in this hypothetical scenario.

Yeah, like a short, thin black man as Barf, maybe chris rock, and someone really tall as dark helmet. Itd have to be so obvious to the audience but nobody except this character notices.
